“مع ان كل الخلق من اصل طين
وكلهم بينزلوا مغمضين
بعد الدقايق والشهور والسنين
تلاقي ناس اشرار وناس طيبين”
― صلاح جاهين, رباعيات صلاح جاهين

“Dear . . .
You’re the poem I couldn’t finish
The journey I should have never started
I saw tragedy in our ending
My pen bled its heart out trying to change it
But you were the fight I didn’t want to lose
The addiction I didn’t want to quit
Yet there was only one of us holding on
I wasn’t attached to the man you are
But the one you could be
I tried to build where there was no foundation
Create a fairy tale on blank pages
But some stories need not be told, let alone written
You’ll read my words and won’t be moved
Your arrogance will not soften
You won’t be changed
Your heart, if you should have one,
will not bend or break
The worst part of it all
Is this poem is about you
and you’ll never even know it”
